Thanks for these glimpses into your family life. Or silly Christmas TV ritual is to watch ALL the Harry Potter movies together. Also: these scones look so beautiful and festive. Cheers!
I made fresh cranberry bread over the Thanksgiving holidays and my little processor did a poor job of chopping them. When I try to do it by hand, they roll all over the counter. Whats the trick? At what stage do you hold the dough in the refrigerator? Ready to bake? I would love that as I am a slow starter in the morning.
I raised my kids without a tv for the most part. As they got older we all enjoyed watching our local sports teams so we watched those and special events
Like moon shots, etc! One is a librarian who loves books- the boys now men really don't love reading! 🤷♀️
Another heartfelt article...Brings tears to my eyes thinking of my mom and the hundreds of cookies she would make each December. She's been gone seven years and I miss her so much at Christmastime. I know I've said it before, but your parents really are dears and I love hearing about them. They are your greatest gift in life, just as you will be to your children. Say hi to them for me and remember to hug them as much as you can!
PS: Love the TV story! I was the same with Nintendo back in the day and I now have a world champion game player son (who happens to be an EP cardiologist in his spare time!)
Thank you for another beautiful heartfelt post. Now I have a little craving for proper scones like yours, and I’m thinking about creating a cozy family ritual of scones and tea on a Sunday morning. We just launched a new ritual, too. The very first tv dinner with Livia, watching Coco together. She loved the exceptionality of eating in front of the TV (mum, really?!) and compared it to our summer picnic dinners on our tiny balcony. We too have a sofa for two where we pile up together with one of our two dogs (the other one, a huge maremmana, lies at our feet!)
I love your dreams. It all sounds amazing. Happy holidays, Sarah!🤍❄️

Thank you for the scones and the validation of our occasional cravings

Sounds like a wonderful holiday!
The scones look delicious.
